As far back as the gypsies can tell any

The ChameIeon,s Celebration,

But Of all the parti colored reptiles the
chameleon is by far the best known, and
on the whole the most remarkable for his
Inconsistency of celebration. Like LAGER
tine Vicar of Bray, he varies incontinently
from buff to blue, and from blue back to
orange again, under stress Of circumstan-
ces. The mechanism of this curious
change is extremely complex. Tiny cor
puscles of different pigments are some
times hidden III the depths of the chame-
leon S skin, and sometimes spread out on
its surface in an interlacing network of
brown or purple. In addition to this
prime coloriIg matter, however. the ami
NAL also possesses a normal yellow pig
ment and a blush layer in the skin
which acts like the iridium glass so largely
employed by DR.. ,oalviati, being seen a.
straw colored with a transmitted light,
but assuming a faint lilac tint against an
opaque absorbent surface. While sleep
ing the chameleon becomes almost white
in the shade, but if light falls upon him
he slowly darkens by an automatic pro-
cess.-Cornhill Magazine.

CUSTOMS OF THE JAPANESE.

Extracts from an Interes 4ng Lecture.
PoIiteness, Good Nature a al Honesty.
In his lecture Professof Edward S.
Morse began by correcting fine very com
mon but erroneous iiea BAT the Chinese
and Japanese resemble ea eh other. They
are affiliated in blood, By he could almost
say that the Amerc hs resemble the
Chinese more than No their insula
ueighbors. The rude. hurrying crowds
upon the Chinese streets. the busting
mercantile spirit, the customs of the
table, the architecture almost every
popularity i'm detail when held up and
compared with those OF the Japanese,
show that the Chinese resemble Ameri-
cans more closely than they do their
MOngol ueighb0s.
The japanese do not, as their tradi-
tious say, come fIom the sun, but are the
result of an adnNture of many blOCds
from many sources. The Chinese would.
as one has said. ''hold dear at platter
of rice a single fact as to the causes Of

for causatjon, and their strength comes
from the constant search for reasons,

Various of the Turners-A Howl
From Naugatucks
The excitement in Meriden over the raising
of flag at half-mast in mourning for the
dead Anarchists over the rooms of the Turner
society by Fritz Weber, vice president of the
society, has begun to abate Weber upon
being called upon to explain said he did it by
vote of the society. ''The outcome of this
business will be-" said a leading Meriden
Turner, ''tbe enforced withdrawal of some
thirty or more socialists from the Turn soci-
ETY.. These men, however, had nothing to do
with the flag raising and do not approve of it,
but the feeling is SO strong that they will
have to leave the society,"" All the German
societies and many individual German citi-
zens publicly denounced the flag raising in
| the local papers Saturday evening and the
Turner's will probably hold no meetings to
discuss the matter until the regular meeting
on Friday evening next.

''The State of Illinois has stained her name

from outraged justice. The flag of our ma

innocence and freedom, but simply the in

COHEPLETELY wRECKED.
The stafford KSank-Ehe Capital WhOl
Iy Wiped out.


Colonel Charles M. Joslyn, receiver of the
Stafford National bank, met the stockholders,
depositors and others interested in the bank
at Stafford Springs Saturday forenoon. He
gave them his finding in the condition of the
bank at the date of suspension. The state
ment showed assets of $310,021.90 and liza
biIit1es of 1901, 1926. IA, and shows balance
for the stockholders of 8,395.76, to which
may be added what may be realized on the
cashiers bond of 5000 and whatever his
property may yield.
The capital stock was reported on the
books 5000, 900, the surplus account $24, 900,
and the profit and loss 1881. 81 making 1924,
631.31. By the receivers account, of this
sum of nearly 1926, 900, there is left for the
stockholders So, 400 and what is recovered on
the cashiers bond, etc. And there must be
deducted from this the cost of winding up.
Of the loss of nearly 5000, 900, nearly $780,
900 is represented by losses through Hicks
and $50, 900 through the Vermont Lumber
company. The remainder was made up by
sundry bad inve stments.
In the list of assets the receiver cuts down
the bills receivable to the amount of $85, 900.
The check account, ST, 900, represents checks
of the Vermont Lumber company, of which
Hicks was treasurer, and which were carried
as cash and are worthless. The overdraft,
ST, 934 g. estimated as worth only ST.,
636.65, are chiefly overdrafts by Hicks,
amounting to over $15, 900. The books show
ed due from other banks $63, 963.37, but the
receiver found due from other banks $17,-
520.17. These erroneous entries were detect
ed by the United States bank examiner, and
led to the discovery of the defalcation

of such a Gathering.

Oh Sucn a OAtMer1nS.
Columbia council, Knights of Columbus,
held special meeting yesterday and passed
unanimous resolution in favor of calling a
general convention of the order in the State.
For some time past there has been growing
feeling of dissatisfaction with the methods
of administration that characterize the board
of government, the supreme ruling power,
which it is alleged sanctions expenditures
that are not to the best interests of the order
A desire for more economy and an equally
effective while less expensive administration
of the executive offices has been steadily
growing among the members of the order,
and this feeling is very strong in this city
and in the northern aud eastern parts of the
State. A move in the direction of a State
convention had already been started in this
city, but the action of Columbia council will
give it an impetus that will in all probability
result ia the holding Of such a convention
The general sentiment of members of other
councils who were present yesterday at the
meeting of Columbia council was one of
approval of its action, and the hope was
universally expressed that the result would
be the achievement of much needed reforms.

PROSPECTS, OF PIPE LINES.

OIL Can be Had in Paying Quantities
Within a Radius of Five Miles of
RIdgeheld Center.
NoRwALK, Nov. 13.-Mr. Peter P. Cornen,
one of the host that invaded California in 40,
has set Ridgefeld crazy by stating that oil
can be had in paying quantities by sinking
well anywhere within radius of five miles
Of the village green. He bases his views on
the volcanic formation of the country and the
abundance of oil-producing trees, such as the
walnut, the butternut and the hickory nut.
The people remember that about two years
ago Aaron Lee dug well near his barn to
furnish water for his stock. A plentiful sup
ply was obtained at depth of about ten feet,
but the cattle wouldn't drink it. 1t had an
oily appearance and disagreeable odor. Mr..
Cornen said at the time that the well diggers
had struck a small pocket of natural gas and
that where there is gas there is very apt to be
oil. Mr.. Cornen has been trying for several
years to get the public interested in the
matter, but it was an uphill job. People
took very little stock in it at
first, but now the summer resident has
departed, the crops are all in the barn, cleo
ton day is past and gone and the men of
old Ridgefeld have time to listen to Mr..
Cornen's schemes. The result is that the
town is fairly wild with excitement, and
score or more of the prominent men of the
place are arranging to organizs stock COM
pany with a cash capital of $12, 500, divided
into shares of So each. Ten thousand dollars,
it is estimated, will buy and erect the neces-
sary machinery and make hole in the
ground 1000 feet deep. The balance of
81, 800 will be reserved for emergencies A
public meeting has been called for Saturday,
November 10, to organize the company and
solicit subscriptions to the stock. It is evil
dent that if the excitement continues there
will be little or no difficulty In raising sthe
required sum.
The projectors of the enterprise profess
great faith. They are already discussing the
route of the pipe line that is to carry the I'M
discovered oil to the seaboard. Some want
to run the pipe to Long Island Sound and
others want to see it carried over the hills
and through the valleys to the Hudson river.
AS the distance is practically the same, about
twenty-five miles, neither route has many
advantages over the other. The prospective
oil kings say further that in case the boring
does not result in the finding of petroleum
they are sure to find gold or some other val
liable mineral. Mica and. valuable kinds
of quartz are already dug in large quantities
from the hills about the cd town.
There are very few people in Ridgefeld
who profess to hope that the operators will
not strike OIL These old fogies say that if
oil is discovered it will forever ruin Ridge
field a summer resort, but the operators
have made a solemn promise to locate the
wells SO far from the fashionable center that
the gorgeous raiment of the fair summer res
ident shall not be soiled, neither shall her
